So as some of you may have noticed, I didn’t post at all last week. Quite simply, this is because I spent pretty much every waking hour at work. Hell I gave up sleep­ing hours to be there to. Wednes­day I was at work for 18 hours, got 4 hours of sleep, then went to work the next day for a fun-​filled 31-hour shift. A word to the wise, if you are ever installing ISA server into your topol­ogy, for the love of all that is sacred and pure make sure you put it onto a sep­a­rate server then the one hold­ing your web­site. Trust me on this. Unless you want to be awake at 3 am, 6 hours before your project is being pre­sented to 100 impor­tant people.

Another help­ful tidbit: if you are tired enough, you can actu­ally sleep on a cement floor! I proved this by pass­ing out in our con­fer­ence room for nearly two hours. I say passed out because it wasn’t sleep in any sense. I actu­ally felt worse when I was roused. Ah well, such is my work-​life.

Onto the random para­graphs that sum­ma­rize my life in the past little while!

The more I try and read what others are saying on the world wide inter­web, the more I real­ize that there are a lot of people out there who are a hell of a lot smarter then myself. Jarkko Laine is one of those people. While look­ing around his site, I found what is deemed a “pop­u­lar arti­cle“. The title alone got me to read it (Never Work Over­time Again) and after read­ing it I can hon­estly say that he nailed it per­fectly. Noth­ing could be done to improve the state­ments made therein.
